Weather: SE force 2/3 warm sunshine
Three juvenile birds were ringed today, first a Blackbird that is from one of the Hilbre broods, while the Blackcap was so young it could not be sexed but of course defineately hatched elsewhere.
Another juvenile was a Chiffchaff
A highlight was the finding of 7 Lapwing, a scarce bird at Hilbre especially at ths time of year. The pick of the other waders were 11 Turnstone still lingering around the island.
A Gannet and 33 Sandwich Terns were on the sea. Just 2 Eider showed today. A movement of 6 Swift outnumbered the Swallows seen today. Two Grey Herons and 3 Little Egrets inhabited the gutters.
